(II) Prior technology Electric fan equipment, especially for computers, usually has such control, which can control the speed of the electric fan. High fan speeds are accompanied by high noise levels, and many users are troubled by them. Therefore, in high-quality computers, customizing makes the speed of electric fans suitable for individual cooling needs. During periods of low load, the computer generates a small amount of heat and only requires a low cooling capacity. As a result, the fan can operate at a low speed. The electric fan is controlled by a series-connected regulating transistor, so that it can set the voltage across the electric fan. The principle of the circuit used is shown in Figure 2. The fan 1, the adjusting transistor 2 and the current measuring resistor 3 are connected in series between the terminals of the operating voltage UB. The current measuring resistor 3 has a very small size, and in the case of an electronic rectifier fan, it can function to detect the fan current and determine its fan speed based on the rectification pulses it contains. Adjusting transistor 2 can affect the voltage across fan 1 in a simple way. The control unit 4 is provided to drive the regulating transistor 4 across the voltage drop across the regulating transistor 2 and thus the voltage across the fan 1 changes depending on the driving effected by the control unit 4. In the situation shown in the figure, the adjustment transistor 2 operates as a voltage follower, that is, the voltage at the emitter is defined by the base voltage and the base-emitter voltage. This circuit is quoted as a representative example of other circuit principles that can be implemented by adjusting a transistor. FIG. 3 is not a specific embodiment of the control unit of the conventional technology. The control unit 4 includes a control transistor 5 driven by an operational amplifier 6. The control input voltage Uin is applied to an inverting input of the operational amplifier 6. Depending on the size of the control input voltage Uin, the control transistor 5 is turned on to a greater or lesser extent, thereby changing the voltage U e at the control input of the control unit 4. Tr: The control input voltage uin is generated by the rotation speed detecting device 8 connected to the current measuring resistor Rs. In order to obtain a reliable speed adjustment of the electric fan 1, it is important to reliably identify the electric fan motor 1 in the rotating speed detecting device 8. Rectification pulse. However, the problem in the circuit situation according to the conventional technology is that the operating voltage UB changes. The β-port operating voltage UB is composed of a DC voltage component VG1 and an AC voltage component UAC. The AC voltage component UAC may have and rectify The pulses have the same frequency. If the AC voltage component affects the current passing through the current measurement resistor, the false identification of the fan pulse will occur as a result. When other loads on the same power supply unit have sudden load changes, such as having an actuation to save power Functional hard disks or processors will have sudden changes in operating voltage at any time. In order to solve this problem, it is known to separate the passive filtering of the operating voltage of the fan through the inductor coil and capacitor. The disadvantage of these two components is that they generate Comparatively large size and high additional cost increase. Other solutions to this problem In the solution, in order to identify the rectification, the current change of the electric fan is detected as a percentage, which is greater than the percentage difference of the percentage change of the operating voltage. In other words, if the operating voltage can be changed, for example, ± 5%, and the identification threshold of the electric fan rectification is, for example, earth 15%, it is initially false-6-200427929 It is assumed that no misrecognition can occur. However, in the case of this method, if the fan operates with a reduced operating voltage, the misrecognition of the rectification pulse may also occur. This can be caused by According to the circuit considerations of the conventional technology in Figures 2 and 3, the adjustment transistor 2 feeds a stable adjustment voltage to the fan. When the variable adjustment voltage appears at one end of the fan 1, the stable voltage is fed to the fan 1. The other end. Therefore, the voltage across the electric fan 1 also changes, and relatively, the fluctuating current flow through the electric fan 1 occurs. This fluctuating current draws a voltage across the current measuring resistor Rs. And it is fed to the rotation speed detecting device 8. This It has the effect that the fluctuation of the operating voltage will lead to misidentification. Therefore, even if this pulse does not appear, it will be In the power saving mode, the interference voltage caused by the processor's activation also recognizes the rectification pulse. The magnitude of the voltage fluctuation can be calculated by the following equation, based on the conventional circuit shown in Figure 3 as a reference, where the control circuit is based on the open open-di * ain) architecture and the N-MOS transistor of the operational amplifier. The fan voltage result is

A further problem is the distress caused by the non-linear behavior of the internal fan electronics of commercially available fans. The on / off threshold of this typical electric fan is at an operating voltage of 3 V, that is, the current variation will be greater than in the worst case where the fan is continuously switched on / off. ± 1 5%. Then, the rotation speed detecting device 8 incorrectly interprets the current variation caused by the fan rectification when the switch is turned on / off. (3) Summary of the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide a control unit for electric fan equipment, in which the variation of the operating voltage does not cause the rotational speed detecting device to incorrectly identify the rectifying pulse. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a control unit of the type described in the preamble of the patent application. The feature is that the control unit actually includes a compensation device that affects the control signal in a way that depends on the AC voltage component of the operating voltage of the fan equipment. The AC voltage component completely or partially compensates the voltage across the fan. With the structure of the control unit according to the present invention, the control signal is tracked according to the AC voltage component of each of the operating voltages 200427929. In this way, if the operating voltage is increased by, for example, 5%, the driving transistor is driven so that the voltage at the other end of the electric fan is also increased by the same voltage in the best case, so that the entire voltage across the electric fan remains unchanged. In a preferred architecture, the compensation device uses an operational amplifier, the control input voltage is transmitted to one input terminal, and the operating voltage is transmitted to the other input terminal. In this case, it is better that this circuit is handled without a capacitor, so it can be used in a simple manner in an integrated circuit. In a specific architecture, the operating voltage is fed to the inverting input of the operational amplifier via a voltage divider, and the input voltage is controlled to feed the non-inverting input. In this case, the operational amplifier drives the control transistor, which determines the size of the control signal provided at the control output of the circuit to drive the adjustment transistor. (Fourth Embodiment) Fig. 1 shows an electric fan equipment including an electric fan 1, a regulating transistor 2 and a current measuring resistor 3, which are connected in series and connected to an operating voltage UB. The control transistor 2 is driven by a control unit 4 according to the invention. Further, a rotation speed detecting device 8 is provided, which is connected to the current measuring resistor 3 on the one hand and a control input voltage Uin for the control unit 4 on the other hand. As mentioned above, the operating voltage will change. As a result, the voltage UB = UG1 + UAC can be greater than or less than the nominal operating voltage UG, and it appears across the equipment including the fan 1, the adjusting transistor 2 and the current measuring resistor 3. The fluctuating voltage is fed to an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 6 via a voltage divider having resistors R3 and R4. The control input voltage U i n generated by the rotation speed detecting device 8 is fed to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 6. The output terminal of the operational amplifier 6 is connected to the gate terminal of the N-MOS transistor 5. The latter is connected to the ground on the one hand, and to the control output terminal 7 of the control unit on the other hand. This control output terminal provides a control input terminal for connecting the regulating transistor 2. The first resistor R 1 is disposed at the control output terminal 7 and the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 6. Moreover, the non-inverting input terminal is connected to the second resistor R2, where the control input voltage Uin is applied. A multi-resistor is connected to the control output 7 and the operating voltage. Its function is the pull-up resistor of the output transistor ° The control unit 4 according to the invention implements two adjustment circuits. The first regulating circuit is formed by detecting the rotation speed and generating the corresponding control signal UeQ tr () 1 to drive the adjustment transistor 2. The actual rotation speed determined by the rotation speed detecting device 8 is compared with the desired rotation speed ndesired, and is used for The control input voltage Uin depends on the deviation of the control signal. The time constant of the first regulating circuit is relatively large, and usually within a few ms. Because the temperature of the equipment to be cooled also changes relatively slowly, it does not need to be faster The fact that the second regulation circuit is formed is due to the substantially faster voltage change of the AC component of the operating voltage UB 'to the operational amplifier 6 via a voltage divider having second and fourth resistors R3 and R4. The result is more input Variable to determine the control signal UeDntrQl. During normal operation, that is, if there is no AC voltage overlap, the actual input speed is too low to cause the control input voltage U in to decrease. As a result, the output voltage of the operational amplifier 6 is also reduced. The drive adjustment transistor 2 The control signal U .. n decreases accordingly. Due to the low base voltage of transistor 2, because the voltage involved is -10- 200427929 With the device, the emitter voltage is also reduced. However, the more voltage across the fan 1 is caused because the operating voltage UB at the other end of the fan 1 remains unchanged. Therefore, the fan turns faster, which The current is measured by the resistor 3. Although the above-mentioned adjustment mechanism changes the operating voltage rapidly due to the AC voltage component u A c; the above-mentioned adjustment mechanism does not significantly change the speed of the electric fan 1, but the voltage across the electric fan 1 will An instantaneous increase occurs, which results in a higher current passing through the fan 1 and thus the current measurement resistor 3, which finally results in a wrong ek identification of the rectified pulses. The result identification is a higher speed than actually occurs. The control unit 4 according to the present invention uses The voltage divider with resistors R3 and r4 is used to prevent the operating voltage from being fed to the inverting input of the operational amplifier 6. The instantaneous increase of the operating voltage causes the output voltage of the operational amplifier 6 to decrease. Therefore, the control signal Uec) ntr (1) increases, which results in an increase in the voltage at the emitter of the regulating transistor 2 and thus an increase in the voltage at the lower end of the fan 1. Thus, the voltage across the fan 1 is increased. Keep the same. The current passing through the fan 1 and the current measuring resistor 3 remains the same. In this way, the incorrect recognition of the rectification pulse of the speed detection device 8 is prevented. It depends on the size of the resistors R1, R2, R3 and R4 The result is that the change in operating voltage is fully or partially compensated. The method for obtaining full compensation for the change in operating voltage is shown in the following calculations. The results for the voltage across fan 1 are as follows: (I) Ufan = UGl + UAc + UBE- Ucontrol Because the voltage U + at the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier 6 is equal to the voltage U-at the inverting input of the operational amplifier 6, the result is as follows: -11- 200427929 (Π) (Ucontro 丨 -Uin) * R2 / (Rl + R2) + Uin = (UG1 + UAC) * R4 / (R3 + R4) If you choose the ratio 1 / R1 / R2 = R3 / R4, then R2 / (R1 + R2) = R4 (R3 + R4) It is also true. After the equations are rearranged, the result is as follows:-(Ucontrol-Uin) * a + Uin = (UG] + UAC) * a.
